PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

Title to Real Property. Seller has furnished to Buyer a preliminary commitment for title insurance, having an effective date of January 9, 2007 (the “Preliminary Title Commitment”) from Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) on the current form of American Land Title Association Owner’s Policy (or equivalent policy) in the amount of the Purchase Price, showing the Real Property vested in the Seller. Title to the Real Property shall be subject only to the following “Permitted Exceptions”: (a) general real estate taxes accrued, but not yet payable at the time of closing; (b) any special taxes or assessments, if any, for improvements not yet completed; (c) installments, if any, not due at the date hereof of any special tax or assessment for improvements heretofore completed; (d) building lines and building restrictions of record, zoning and building laws and ordinances; (e) private, public and utility easements; (f) conditions, covenants and restrictions of record as to use and occupancy; (g) party wall rights and agreements, if any; (h) existing leases and tenancy; (i) any mortgage or trust deed on the Real Property granted by Buyer; (j) acts done or suffered by or judgments against Buyer, or those claiming by, through or under Buyer; and (k) such other covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other rights of record that Buyer accepts or is deemed to have accepted pursuant to this paragraph. It is understood and agreed that any loans obtained by Seller which are secured by mortgages or trust deeds encumbering title to the Real Property shall be paid in full at or prior to the closing and title after closing shall not be subject to such liens or encumbrances. Prior to closing, Seller shall provide Buyer an updated Title Commitment (“Updated Title Commitment”) that updates the effective date of the Preliminary Title Commitment and confirms that no additional liens, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other rights of record have encumbered the Real Property since the issuance of the Preliminary Title Commitment. As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated hereby, at Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or its designee, at the sole cost and expense of Seller, an owner’s title insurance policy or a “marked-up” Title Commitment, for the Real Property in the most current ALTA form issued by the Title Company (the “Owner’s Title Policy”), in the amount of the Purchase Price and showing title to the Real Property in Buyer’s name, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and with extended coverage over all general exceptions and contiguity endorsement. Buyer shall be entitled to request that the Title Company provide, at Buyer’s sole costs and expense, such endorsements (or amendments) to the Owner’s Title Policy as Buyer may reasonably require, provided that

(a) such endorsements (or amendments) shall be at no costs or additional liability to Seller, (b) except for the Buyer’s ability to obtain the Comprehensive (ALTA 9.2) Endorsement, Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon Buyer’s ability to obtain any other endorsement, and Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction”) without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price, and (c) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Buyer’s request.

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (i) THE PROPERTY SHALL BE SOLD, AND BUYER SHALL ACCEPT POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY ON THE CLOSING DATE, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, WITH NO RIGHT OF SETOFF OR REDUCTION IN THE PURCHASE PRICE; (ii) EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.2 AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY OF TITLE TO BE GIVEN IN THE DEED (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 6.3(a)) (HEREIN COLLECTIVELY CALLED THE “SELLER’S WARRANTIES”), NONE OF SELLER, ITS COUNSEL, JTJ WEISS LLC, STONE REAL ESTATE CORP. AND TEN REALTY (COLLECTIVELY, THE “BROKERS”), ITS SALES AGENTS, NOR ANY PARTNER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SELLER, ITS COUNSEL, BROKER, OR ITS SALES AGENTS, NOR ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING (ALL OF WHICH PARTIES ARE HEREIN COLLECTIVELY CALL “SELLER PARTIES”) HAVE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY VERBAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES OR GUARANTEES (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE) TO BUYER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.2, BUYER IS NOT RELYING ON (AND SELLER AND EACH OF THE OTHER SELLER PARTIES DOES HEREBY DISCLAIM AND RENOUNCE) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED FROM SELLER OR ANY OTHER SELLER PARTIES, AS TO: (i), USES, OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (2) THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEREON, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PLUMBING, SEWER, HEATING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, ROOFING, AIR CONDITIONING FOUNDATIONS, SOILS AND GEOLOGY, LOT SIZE OR SUITABILITY OF THE REAL PROPERTY OR ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEREON FOR A

PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (3) WHETHER THE APPLIANCES, IF ANY, PLUMBING OR UTILITIES ARE IN WORKING ORDER; (4) THE HABITABILITY OR SUITABILITY FOR OCCUPANCY OF ANY STRUCTURE AND THE QUALITY OF ITS CONSTRUCTION; (5) WHETHER THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE STRUCTURALLY SOUND, IN GOOD CONDITION, OR IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE MUNICIPAL, COUNTY, STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTES, CODES OR ORDINANCES; (6) THE DIMENSIONS OF THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE ACCURACY OF ANY FLOOR PLANS, SQUARE FOOTAGE, LEASE ABSTRACTS, SKETCHES; (7) THE ABILITY OF PURCHASER TO OBTAIN ANY AND ALL NECESSARY GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS OR PERMITS FOR BUYER’S INTENDED USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY;

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Material” shall mean any substances, chemical, waste or material that is or becomes regulated by any federal, state or local governmental authority because of its toxicity, infectiousness, radioactivity, explosiveness, ignitability, corrosiveness or reactivity, including, without limitation,

asbestos or any substance containing more than 0.1 percent asbestos, the group of compounds known as polychlorinated biphenyls, flammable explosives, oil, petroleum or any refined petroleum product.

Proration Calculations. For purposes of calculating prorations and adjustments, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Real Property, and therefore entitled to income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the

entire day on which the Closing occurs provided that Seller receives the funds due to Seller at Closing at or prior to 2:00 p.m, Central Time, on the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that, if the funds are received after such time on the Closing Date, Seller shall be deemed in title to the Real Property as aforesaid for the Closing Date and the closing prorations shall be recalculated. All prorations and adjustments shall be final, except that, in the event of any computational mistake or error, the parties shall make an appropriate adjustment(s) in cash between them to correct such mistake or error promptly after the discovery thereof.

6.1

Closing Date. Subject to Seller’s right to extend the Closing as provided in this Agreement, the Transaction shall close (“Closing”) on the date (the “Closing Date”) the later of the thirtieth (30^th) day after the Effective Date, or the fifth (5^th) day following receipt by the Regulatory Agency approving Buyer’s application to establish a branch located on the Property,

but in any event no more than sixty (60) days after the execution of this Agreement. Closing may, at Seller’s election, be either by a so-called “New York style” closing or through escrow. The Closing shall take place at 10:00 a.m. Central Time in the offices of the Title Company and Buyer and Seller shall conduct a “pre-closing” on the last business day prior to the Closing Date with title transfer and payment of the Purchase Price to be completed on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 6.2. Time is of the essence with respect to the Closing Date.

Waiver of Failure of Conditions Precedent. At any time or times on or before the date specified for the satisfaction of any condition, Buyer or Seller may elect in writing to waive the benefit of any such condition set forth in Section 7.1 or

Section 7.2, respectively. By closing the Transaction, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived the benefit of any remaining unfulfilled conditions set forth in Section 7.2. In the event any of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 are neither waived nor fulfilled, Buyer or Seller (as appropriate) may terminate their obligations to perform at the Closing and otherwise under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.

Seller has no knowledge of any environmental liabilities relating to the presence, discovery, or removal of any hazardous materials in, at, about or under the real property, or for, connected with or arising out of any and all

claims or causes of action based upon CERCLA (Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended by SARA (Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act of 1986) and as may be further amended from time to time), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. §§6901 et seq., or any related claims or causes of action of any other federal or state statutory or regulatory causes of action for environmental contamination at, in or under the real property which arose prior to closing.

Notice of Breach; Seller’s Right to Cure. If at or prior to the Closing, Buyer or any Buyer’s Representative obtains actual knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). If at or prior to the Closing, Seller obtains knowledge that any of the representations or warranties made herein by Seller are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof within five (5) business days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing). In either such event, Seller shall have the right to cure such misrepresentation or breach and shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of such cure. If Seller is unable to so cure any misrepresentation or breach, then Buyer, as its sole remedy for any and all such materially untrue, inaccurate or incorrect material representations or warranties, shall elect either (a) to waive such misrepresentations or breaches of warranties and consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price, or (b) to terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Seller on the Closing Date, this Agreement shall be terminated, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement. If any such representation or warranty is untrue, inaccurate or incorrect but is not untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall be deemed to waive such misrepresentation or breach of warranty, and Buyer shall be required

to consummate the Transaction without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price. The untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of a representation or warranty shall be deemed material only if Buyer’s aggregate damages resulting from the untruth, inaccuracy or incorrectness of any of the representations or warranties are reasonably estimate by Buyer to exceed TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($25,000.00).

To Seller’s Obligations. If, on the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s material representations or warranties are untrue in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to

occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, then Seller may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer; or (b) proceed to close the Transaction. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit as liquidated damages, and thereafter neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it survives the termination of this Agreement.

Assignment of Proceeds. If (a) neither Seller nor Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid if all or any significant portion of the Real Property is taken, or if (b) a portion of the Real Property not constituting a significant portion of the Real Property is taken or becomes subject to pending taking, by eminent domain, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price; provided, however, that, at the Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any award for or other proceeds on account of such taking which have been actually paid to Seller prior to the Closing Date as a result of such taking (less all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by

Seller as of the Closing Date in obtaining payment of such award or proceeds) and, to the extent such award or proceeds have not been paid, Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights to Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, all awards for the taking of the Real Property or such portion thereof.

Except as to Escrow Deposits for which Escrow Agent has received express written direction concerning investment or other handling, the parties hereto direct the Escrow Agent NOT to invest any Escrow Deposits and waive any rights which they may have under Section 2-8 of the Corporate Fiduciary Act (205 ILCS 620/2-8) to receive interest on funds deposited hereunder. In the absence of an authorized direction to invest funds, the parties hereto agree that the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any such funds at any time held by it; and, further, that Escrow Agent may commingle such funds with other deposits or with its own funds in the manner provided for the administration of funds under said Section 2-8 and may use any or

all of such funds for its own benefit without obligation to any party for interest or earnings derived thereby, if any. Provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Escrow Agent’s obligation to apply the full amount of such funds in accordance with the terms of the escrow.

Additional Agreements; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such documents as the other party shall reasonably request in order to consummate and

make effective the Transaction; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of such documents by such party shall not result in any additional liability or cost to such party.
